A Woman Is A Thousand Words

A Woman Is A Thousand Words

A Poem by Kristen Darian Marie Wiley
"

Inspired by a female teacher I once had. I really didn't like her but wasn't sure why, after determining that I was being unfair I wrote this

"
Woman is a painting
A piece lovingly created
Her meaning changing
In the eye of every patron
Her moods seem abstract
Perhaps her figure Rubenesque
Her mind to one, true realism
To another surreal
And her love always
A matter of Impressionism.

Woman is a mannequin
Some would drape her finely
Regal velvets, ermine capes
Yet designers would bicker
Those same proud shoulders
Should wear the beige house-dress
The same color as the wall
Until she is not seen at all
And still more argue for gare
Bright red garters hold up
Fishnet stockings welcoming all
To feel her every delight, while
Next week she steps into the
Virgin pettie coats of white.

One never really sees a Woman
But a reflection of themselves
Woman is a mirror
Her name spoken in a thousand tongues
And understood by none.
